This week on The Wonder of Anime, streamer and cosplayer Simone Malcolm is in the expert seat! Simone is a multi-hyphenate creative who writes, cosplays, and streams. An animanga enthusiast who loves to nerd out over music, gaming, fashion, and pop culture. Simone comes to us with the ever “controversial” shounen, Black Clover. It seems people either love it or hate it, with no in-between. We get into what makes Black Clover so special, is Yuno really a Sasuke clone, why people hate it so much, and more!
